Oregon Veteran's Day

Observances have been held for those who served and are serving the Armed Forces of the United States in Oregon. In Central Point veteran's, their families, and supporters gathered at the 'Oregon War Memorial' to pay tribute to those who have defended the nation over the decades. While those from World War Two, the Korean and Vietnam conflicts and the first Gulf War were acknowledged, retired Army Colonel Dave Dotterer reminded the audience to make sure to thank those and their families who are currently serving abroad for their commitment to the nation. Dotterer told the audience that with thousands of service men and women holding posts in more than 120 countries the mission to stamp out terrorism continues, and the support for that mission is needed back home.
